Descrição: Impairment has a ubiquitous and troublesome position within disability studies. The absence of an effective theoretical understanding of impairment has been a major problem for the field. One way out of this impasse is to situate impairment sociologically. By regarding impairment as a thoroughly social dynamic, and examining it though a sociological lens, it is possible to develop a richer understanding of the experiences, politics, and identities of disabled people. Some of the key elements of a sociology of impairment include: using a socially-embedded phenomenology; exploring the social creation of impairment through inequality; deconstructing the cultural construction of impairment; critically examining diagnosis; and analyzing the personal and political significance of impairment identities.
